, T 0 all whom it may concern:

and which can be conveniently located atvarious points between thecarburetor and insure a thorough mixing of the gas. Y

A further object is to provide amixer which can be secured in' placewithout changing the ordinary construction of the engine parts and maybe used either singly or in any desired number to give the desiredresults.

With these and other objects in view the invention consists in certainnovel. features of construction, and combinations and arran'gements ofparts as will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in theclaim. g

In the accompanying drawings-- Figure -1 is a view in side elevationillustrating an engine, a carburetor and an intake manifold showingparts of the manifold in section to illustrate the my improved mixer.

Figure 2 is an enlarged view in longitu- Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the mixer. I

1 represents an internal combustion engine cylinders, and I haveillustrated my improved mixer 4 as located between the manifold and thecarburetor and between the manifold and the engine, and such anarrangement of a plurality of my improved mixers gives splendid resultsand insures a ggoper mixin of the gases.

y improve mixer comprises a cylindri locations of cal casing 5 having abase flange 6 at one end perforated as shown at? for the reception ofscrews or bolts 9 to securely hold the mixer in proper-position. Thecylindrical casing 5 is provided at its ends and at suitable pointsbetween its ends with screens 8, these screens being preferably spacedan equal distance apart and arranged in'any desired number. The screensare preferably of fine copper wire mesh although they may be made of anysuitable material which will cause the gas to be screened, breaking theglobules of liquid into small atoms and causing a commingling of theliquid and the air to forma perfect gas.

. By locating a mixer 4 between the carburetor and the manifold 3 andother mixers between the manifold and the engine, a thorough mixing isinsured and such an arrangement is a convenient one because thecasing5'of the vaporizer can be of such size as to fit snugly within themanifold pipe and be secured against movement by reason of theengagement of the base flange 6 with the ends of the manifold.

Various slight changes might be made in the general form and arrangementof parts described without departing from the invention, and hence I donot limit myself to the precise details set forth, but consider myselfat liberty to make such changes and alterations as fairly fall withinthe spirit and scope of the appended claim.

l'claim:

The combination with an internal combustion engine, a carburter and anintake manifold having branches and connecting the carbureter with theengine cylinders, of a mixer in the manifold at the end connected withthe carburetor, and amixer in each branch of the manifold at itsconnection with acylinder, the mixers each consisting of a cylindricalcasing having a flange at one end and provided with screens across itsends and between the ends thereof, the casings being arranged in themanifold with the flanges engaging the ends of the manifold.
